    #sblchat - Learning should be our focus day to day. Grades need to be a reflection of our learning, not a mere calculation. #MHSLearns

    In reply to @RoweRikW
  • j_ozbolt Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 Both, it takes the discipline to hold assessments to a standard and creativity to know how to help Ss reach those standards #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1: It can be. It depends if you're grading for compliance or grading for learning. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 - We see grading as more of an Art since grading should be less computational and more a conversation about Learning. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 As with teaching, there is both art and science to grading. Sometimes we can rely too much on the science when art has a role. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    So awesome that you can join us tonight Tom! #sblchat

  • PegGrafwallner Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 Absolutely. To evaluate someone w/out bias is nearly impossible. Therefore, rubrics help eliminate bias & keeps focus #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Oh, I plan to party, Barb! #sblchat
  • RoySovis Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 If you consider professional judgement the art piece, then yes! #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Two men I greatly appreciate! #sblchat
    In reply to @RoySovis, @RESP3CTtheGAME
  • KatieBudrow Nov 9 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 Yep! The science is in the analysis. The art is in the human interaction. Pretty cool stuff to think about. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 - We now see grading as a reflection (art) on learning after conversations between Learners and their Facilitators of Learning. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 Two examples: The art of grading- using professional judgement. The science- desegregating the data from evidence of learning. #sblchat
  • MikeSzczepanik Nov 9 @ 9:09 PM EST
    Q1 I used to think it was just a science (# correct / # total) ... not so sure now #sblchat
  • PegGrafwallner Nov 9 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 Yes, and a process of the learning. Often we focus on end product instead the process of learning that gets us there! #sblchat
    • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:08 PM EST
      A1 - We see grading as more of an Art since grading should be less computational and more a conversation about Learning. #sblchat

    In reply to @MikeSzczepanik
  • kenmattingly Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: It's both. There are rules to follow but also intuition plays a role. Ss not ready, then don't grade. If Ss get it, why wait? #sblchat
  • KatieWhite426 Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1:The science is aligning grading with standards, assessment, learning.The art is framing the science with the context of learners #sblchat

  • TTmomTT Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: If we focus only on the science of grading we remove the human component that makes grading relevant and important. #sblchat
  • Diana_Sarao Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: I don't think grading can ever be a science bc it's subjective. I can't 'prove' a grade. #sblchat
  • MrStefferCVHS Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: It definitely should be a science. It should change with what we learn about learning, unfortunately it's been slow to evolve #sblchat

    A1: Grading is like Ss, have to be catered to the need. I lean more toward art the more I explore the topic. Data has its place. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:12 PM EST
    You can defend a prof level w/evidence of learning, the art comes w/determining what you will accept f/each level. #sblchat

  • RoweRikW Nov 9 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2 - Those responsible for grading (Ss & Ts) should accurately represent the evidence of proficiency provided. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2 Accuracy in grading depends on the quality of the tools we use to assess. There are processes we can use to ensure this. #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Nov 9 @ 9:17 PM EST
